    Pensioners left 'waiting to die' in regional Victoria as specialist healthcare costs rise

    Usually the person who is asking you to get the service can tell you who bulk bills or not in your area. Seniors should be getting assistance in this area and not just going home to die because it's too hard or too expensive. That's not good enough.

    When 30 days becomes 178: The surgery crisis hitting Australian hospitals

    And our premier would sooner spend money on a racetrack and big ticket events paid for by the tax payers for undisclosed sums instead of fixing the hospital and health system and other more important problems. What the hell! And I am sure other states are in the same position.

    New roadside cameras could catch you anytime, anywhere

    There is a definite choice for the driver behind the wheel. You are the one in control, you decide whether you do the right thing and stick to the speed limit or be the idiot and risk the fine and or accident. Your choice and for all those always in a hurry, best to at least turn up even if a...

    Card aisles disappear while discount shop shifts focus toward unexpected new store concept

    I think the reject shop has been amazing up until now for cheap lovely cards. Very disappointing to hear that is stopping. Wondered why there were not much in stock last time I was there. Guess that is another shop I will not be going to. Will have to find somewhere else to find decent cheap cards.

    THIS hidden rule change stopped our parcels to the USA—and how it’s been fixed

    I no longer send anything anywhere but it must be annoying for people who have family in America. Postage alone is expensive enough if you want to send gifts to family.

    Fewer councillors, more money? Why this local government wants to slash 60 councillors

    My first thought when I saw the headline was more money to be spent on community things but clearly not. Don't we already hear about Councils abusing their extra money etc. The majority of people who run for Council do not appear to have any qualifications for the job so hardly warrant higher...

    When tattoos meet traditions: The bridesmaid dilemma that's dividing Australian families

    I could understand it if the bride and other bridesmaids didn't have any tattoos but it should have been discussed at the very beginning before decisions made. Not cool to bring it up later in the day especially when dresses have been made, bought, paid for etc. Far too late in the day.

    Leg cramps

    Elevating your legs regularly so they are higher than your heart can also help. Just pop them on a couple of cushions or pillows.

    After 23 years calling the shots: Channel Seven farewells beloved sports presenter Matt Carmichael

    But why are they letting decent people go when they have to turn around and replace them. Clearly it will be for a lot less money but maybe they all need to take a substantial pay cut, especially starting from the top. Wonder if they thought of that🤔

    Convicted former NSW minister: From prison cell to political exile

    But he was actually convicted so therefore guilty and in prison and getting paid a hefty sum by the taxpayers. That is so wrong on so many levels and shows the laws absolutely do need to be changed and quickly.

    This mall tragedy sparks urgent calls for safer shopping centre car parks. What happened?

    How did the drivers get out without marking your car. You should not be allowed to hem someone in. I would be going to the information kiosk and having their rego called over the loudspeaker to please go to their car immediately. You could have an urgent appointment and it's not good enough...

    Remember when chocolate was pocket change? Now some bars cost $33 and shoppers are divided

    I just wouldn't pay it on principle. I love Old Gold dark chocolate and Lindt dark but refuse to pay the prices today. It just keeps going up and up so it's something I will do without thank you. I will find other ways to have occasional treats. At the way the world is going maybe eating...

    This mall tragedy sparks urgent calls for safer shopping centre car parks. What happened?

    I think this is a good case of where it's a great idea for all cars to back into carparks then it's easy out. Some schools it's compulsory and it is probably for this very reason. I have also watched some people driving the bigger vehicles at schools picking up children and they have no idea...
